You are absolutely wiping the floor with every other UK KZbin channel... You and Blue are going to be HUGE on KZbin and rightly so! Keep the videos coming... Love em 👍

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

W O W !!! I’m lost for words! That’s the most immense compliment I’ve ever received. Thank you so much 😊. I definitely want to be an integral part of the wild camping community so I’ll take ‘HUGE’ and do the best I can. Honestly Thank you.

I have to add my comments to all those that I am in praise of you mate. Ever since I have discovered your channel, I have been blown away by not just your availability and skills in camping and tracking and hiking but also your total humanity and your love for nature and animals. You are an awesome human being and an inspiration.

[@thistles4u]

I’m 60 years old enforces and been out 9 years , thought after watching your video I’d give it a bash from hartsop, oh what a mare. Went the steepest way up, so blowing out my arse after 20 mins, that bad I never made it all the way up due to starting late, ended up pictching half way up on a slope. Got through the night with great star show and scenery, coming back down I felt like a clown with piles. Now in a warm bath and fixing my first challenge to do some more in a couple of weeks, the tarn was full of kids so kept to myself. If it wasn’t for your videos I’d be a right couch potatoes, your right , the scenery and sense of accomplishment is priceless. Thank you bro

[@johnmudd6453]

How can people give this a thumbs down ? A brilliant guide for the first timer .

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Thanks John! I tried to keep it no nonsense but real. I just hope people can at least take something from it. I guess the thumbs down is because they’ve never seen a unicorn and therefore don’t believe. 😂

Thats the no nonsense Tyke in you just like myself ,can't stand pretentious people with egos where in Yorkshire ? I was born in Middlesbrough but have lived in Inverness for the last 50 years, 10 minute walk and I am in the back of beyond !

[@adrianstrand1120]

Absolutely do not leave a note in the car window, a perfect invite to thieves.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

I do occasionally think about that so I don’t date the message and generally say ‘back tomorrow, meaning you could be back at anytime like any other vehicle. I’m more bothered about keeping locals happy so leaving your number is safest. Thieves suck!!!

[@azaradog1804]

Hi feom Australia. Usually National Parks have signs warning not to leave any valueables in the car to temp theiving. And even modern cars can do with a good old steering lock to put off theives as well. Wheel clamps aren't expensive and I have been considering this if I would have to leave the car remote or more than a day.

Hi to Australia! Probably my farthest away watcher! I’ve never had a problem but these thieves need their hands chopping off 😂.

There are so many opinions out there for wild camping that it gets confusing so I’m glad you appreciated some of my advice. Kit is a lot cheaper for summer so better to get started now. Then come winter you’ll have a bit more experience and you may spend on the winter essentials nearer the time.

Must've missed this one, Al. Hugely enjoyable as always. Cannot believe that although I've been camping for years the beanie cap over the eyes idea has never even occurred to me! 😀Love my trekker chair. Only just recently acquired. That's gonna make such a huge difference when the long nights arrive. Totally agree with you about the down jacket. I've never worn mine to actually walk in but it's a godsend when relaxing at the end of the day; just to complete the "dunlop tyre man" look I've got the matching trousers for winter. Best wishes.

Awesome advice 😉👍 just subscribed to your channel, my first wild camping was when I was 15yrs old and 42 yrs later getting back into it again, did my first winter camp in -6 in December before lockdown and was super hot and very comfortable... I have 4 different type of tents that I've used for bike packing trips, and usually have a base tent when I go to camp site, for when I'm explore the mountains on my gravel bike or mountain bike... but this year I'm going to do some serious wild camping, as I've postponed my trip to France which I was going to do the Tour Du Mont Blanc and starts in Chamonix, so this year I'm planning some routes around North Wales and Scotland in July, fingers crossed 🤞the weather should be great by July.. Great vid .. loved it .. many thanks 😊🙏

Well Al, proper enjoyed watching this video. Only just started watching your channel after seeing you camp out with Chris from MCM. Enjoying your content and Blue is damutznutz proper well behaved. Anyway back to the video. Learnt a lot from this video. Haven't Wild camped yet but have been buying bits as and when I can. I live 300 miles from the Lakes but do manage to get up there to family camp once a year which is better than nothing. Thanks again mate and keep up the good work. May even bump in to you on my first Wild camp 👍

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Thanks Arron! A warm welcome to my channel and I’m glad already you are getting something from it. The the lakes are lovely for wild camps but wild camping wherever actually gives you such a lovely feeling and connection with the outdoors. Enjoy!

Fantastic video, felt like I was there for the experience, and being less than half hour from the lake District I've got no excuse not to get out there on foot and try proper wild camping! 👌

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Definitely get to the lakes. Loads of amazing places to walk👍👍👍

[@alunjones9153]

Just slowly build your kit up just prioritising the the essentials. You’ll love it!

Great Vlog - really enjoyed that - new to your channel (subscription added) & new to wild camping - still planning my first adventure. Really useful video & great advice so thks for all that. Loving 'Blue' btw - what a companion....👍

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Thank you so much 🙏. I’m hoping to inspire others to get out safely and wild camp. You’ll have to make a plan and go! You’ll totally love it and learn so much from every camp out you do. All the best. Al

Been addicted to watching your Vids, Mate; I just bought my 2nd tent for a solo wild camp.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

I’m glad you’re enjoying it! Get that tent used👊

[@JamesBellLandscapePhotography]

Nice one

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Thank you!

[@mjojrjr6231]

Planning to pick this location hopefully as my 2nd wild camp or probably my 1st soon.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

It’s a decent place. Parking isn’t great though. Enjoy 👊

[@Jamiefallslikeabrick]

Mega video, I'm an experienced wild camper and serving soldier , yet still learned some stuff

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Brilliant! I honestly think you can get tips from anyone. There are too many people who preach and are know it all’s. Thanks mate!

[@Jamiefallslikeabrick]

@@BUSHMANandBLUE lost my dog today, so was actually in tears watching you play with Blue, he's a beautiful soul

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Mate I’m so sorry! I know how hard that is. Blue is my best friend and I totally understand the bond you get with a dog. I’m sure you have many fond memories. Take care Al
